Background and Background of System Implementation

Previously, only a sales management system was used, and production management was handled using Excel and manual methods. This led to challenges such as differences between departments, knowledge silos, and the manual burden of data aggregation. Furthermore, there were issues with the accuracy of cost management and analysis, making it difficult to fully grasp the profit structure by product and customer. In response to changes in the business environment, they considered implementing an ERP system for integrated data management and business standardization. They adopted "Super Cocktail Core FOODs," which has extensive implementation experience in the food industry and examples in the rice cracker industry.

Effects After Implementation

- Significant reduction in analog work and progress in paperless operations - Realization of information visualization and elimination of knowledge silos through integrated management of production, sales, inventory, and costs - Accelerated collaboration among group companies, such as unifying inventory management

Future Development

Based on approximately one year of operational experience since the implementation of Super Cocktail, they are considering further strengthening their systems and utilizing functions while leveraging the current efficiency gains. With BI tools in mind for future integration, they plan to promote the establishment of an environment where production status, sales, and key KPIs can be visualized in real-time, allowing both the field and management to share the same data.

What is Super Cocktail Core FOODs?

"Super Cocktail Core FOODs" is an integrated package for process-oriented manufacturing industries such as food and chemicals, unifying sales and production. It enables integrated management from procurement to production and sales, supporting business process optimization and the establishment of a PDCA cycle for manufacturing operations.
